Companion Creature Gathering

WHO: Byakuya Twogami and OPEN
WHAT: Twogami's organised a gathering for the influx of unwitting new Pokémon parents (and some more experienced ones) to network and gather information.
WHEN: Early April
WHERE: Amberfall cafe event space
WARNINGS: Mostly cute things but possibly trauma in Twogami's TL



After posting to the network about his plans to host a gathering for everyone who'd suddenly been gifted with Pokémon eggs. That way, at least they could exchange some sort of information- and let their new companions make some friends and training buddies!

...and so, despite the restlessness in his mind, he grit his teeth and set about organising another party.

Twogami had carefully selected the back rooms of a stylish cafe in Amberfall for the event, with elegant curtains framing wide glass doors that opened up onto an outdoor seating area.

The larger of the rooms sported a wooden floor - easy for clean up, and well-maintained - and it was here that he had seen to the catering, with tables against two of the walls containing a multitude of buffet-style foods and drinks. Beside that, a wide selection of Pokémon and pet treats on a lower table, that's easier for the little ones to get to. There's plenty of places about the room to sit, eat and talk, with the tables just spread out enough for Pokémon to go running around.

The adjacent room has been set out as something of a quiet space, for those who might find themselves a little overwhelmed by the activities. There's beanbags, blankets and other soft furnishings, along with a table of information; Twogami had collected plenty of information about the new creatures they've found- some in physical books, others copies of his own notes that have been printed and set into ring-binders for anyone to take home with them.

The outside area was primarily set out for their new companion creatures to play and run around, with different types of toys and games to keep them amused- including a spacious inflatable pool and a marked off area for them to test out their battle abilities, should they choose!

[OOC: It's an open mingle, start your own TLs, tag around do whatever your heart desires~]

Daigo Dojima & Kuri

[personal profile] wild_romance 2025-04-13 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Old man yakuza boss and his chespin have been together for some time now, which seemed like all the more reason to say hello to all the new pokemon owners. He's far from an expert anyway, why not take a chance to learn and let his little buddy make some new friends.

Kuri is cheerful and friendly, clearly well treated by his owner. Daigo lingers nearby to observe and, while perhaps a bit less overtly cheerful, is also a friendly face. He's happy to make pokemon small talk.

"Ah, I got him from the gacha machine in the depths of the mall. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it's nice to have company."

Fela & Delilah

[personal profile] c_zacatechichi 2025-04-13 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Fela never goes anywhere on purpose. It's much more likely that the munna led her here out of its own desire to see the newly hatched pokemon. She too was once a mysterious egg gifted to a sleeping woman.

Fela still seems drowsy and a bit confused now. She always is, drifting in and out of places with no memory of where she's been. She relies on her munna companion quite a bit for their psychic connection, for the little reminders and nudges that her pokemon can provide.

The pair are accompanied by some birds, some squirrels, some capybara. It's a whole entourage that lingers near the pretty lady. Fela gazes at the food with uncertainty,

"We can have this?"
roundandaround: Sparkle eyes, surprise. (it can do that?!)

[Rinku showed up with Mecchan and Hina, of course, as well as a few supplies like crayons and a colouring book. Hina goes to fly over to the nearest person and greet them --]

Remember not to bite, okay?

[-- but Mecchan is more shy, clinging onto Rinku. She pats him.]

Don't worry! This won't be scary at all. And your friends are here!
roundandaround: Chin in hands, listening. (huuuuuh)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2025-04-13 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
He's cute!

[Rinku smiles and waves, then offers the Chespin a treat. Hina flies down to squeak curiously, though Mecchan is hanging back.]

How long have you had him? Mecchan's been here almost two years, though I don't know how old he was when I got him. We had a birthday party for him last month anyway 'cause he wanted his own.

[ Oh man, questions about time. A furrow appears between his brow as he tries to sort it out in his head. ]

I guess... I've been back in Ellipsa around a year now. Larry took me down there to get him pretty close to when I first got back.

[ Kuri burbles excitedly about the treat. He probably would normally share but there is plenty to go around, so he'll just have it all to himself. Happy birthday to Kuri. ]
roundandaround: Doing the "Happy Around!" cheer. (images you can hear)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2025-04-13 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rinku smiles and pets Kuri. Mecchan shyly waves and then clings back onto Rinku, while Hina flies around to try and get an idea of who these people are.]

He's cute! It looks like you get along well. Does he fight at all?
roundandaround: Mecchan. (mecchan)

quiet room

[personal profile] roundandaround 2025-04-13 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mecchan had to run into the quiet room to decompress for a little bit. When he sees Togami and Daifuku, he hides and nervously watches... but they've been nothing but nice, so he carefully approaches from behind a bean bag chair, holding a crayon, and nervously blows a bubble. What's wrong?]
roundandaround: Earnest. (we can do it!)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2025-04-13 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It's for everyone!

[Rinku smiles and waves, then has to scoop Hina out of the air before she tries to bite one of Fela's princess brigade of animals.]

Togami-san put a lot of work into this meetup.

They're all pretty cute.

[ Is it a prerequisite to being a pokemon? Daigo waves a hello at their shy watchers, and Kuri hops about at their feet exclaiming about what good fun a pokemon party is. ]

Ah, sometimes yes. We mostly practice so that we can work together when we're out on quests. Grass-type synergizes fairly well with the earth magic I have.

[personal profile] c_zacatechichi 2025-04-13 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Fela turns her head to pay attention, but it still takes a moment before she seems to really hear. ]

That's very charitable.

[ Delilah floats around Fela once, making a soft muuuu before stopping to hover at the woman's shoulder. ]

But I do not know Togami...
roundandaround: One arm to the side in a "come in!" gesture, dressed as Cocoa from Is the Order a Rabbit. (welcome!)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2025-04-13 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hina squeaks. Allowed to bite? Mecchan babbles a no at her, and her head droops a little, but she lands near Kuri and squeaks a hello at him anyway.]

That's cool! I train with Mecchan, but he doesn't like questing, so I taught him some tricks and stuff instead. I think Hina-chan might like it if I took her out, though.
roundandaround: Earnest. (we can do it!)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2025-04-13 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
That's okay! You have your Munna friend, so you fit in as much as anyone, right? And he didn't say the party had to just be his friends. How else do you meet people except by meeting them?
c_zacatechichi: (Default)

[personal profile] c_zacatechichi 2025-04-13 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She looks at the munna for some confirmation of this, listening to something that no one else is hearing. Delilah bobs in the air cheerfully. ]

I see, The pokemon were invited. I didn't realize.

[ She returns her attention to Rinku. ]

She remembers things better than I do.

[ He relaxes with his hands in his pocket, just a casual dad watching his chespin invite a zubat to play. ]

I can hardly do any tricks myself, let alone teach him. I do need the help with the creatures out in the segments sometimes, though.
roundandaround: Calling happily from a train. (happy happy -- wrong idol franchise)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2025-04-14 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Eh? Huh... Okay! That makes sense.

[Does it, Rinku? She smiles anyway.]

This is a gathering for Pokémon to meet, and for us to learn from each other about how to take care of them and stuff! And food and activities and stuff, 'cause Togami-kun loves that kinda thing.

roundandaround: Leaning in excitedly, performing. (listen to my song)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2025-04-14 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Play! Hina flaps her wings excitedly. Even Mecchan shyly approaches and asks what they're going to play.]

I just taught him some stuff in case he ever wants to go up on stage with me. He did once, but he was really shy and hid under a box to play the keyboard.
c_zacatechichi: (⊰doorways⊱)

[personal profile] c_zacatechichi 2025-04-14 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds very nice.

[ This lady is really not all there, but she does smile. She gestures for Mecchan and Hina, ]

Shall we all start with something to eat?

[ Her eyes sweep down to the entourage at her feet as well. Confused as she is, she can certainly handle snack time. ]

[ Chespin gives a big squawk to propose some hide and seek in this big busy room. ]

Ah, that's right you're a performer. My--

[ ...hm. He has to pause and wonder how to word this so that it is not awkward and horrible. ]

My mentor's daughter pursued an idol career, for a little while. The most you'll get out of me though is some karaoke.
roundandaround: Pumped-up smile. (we can do this)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2025-04-14 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's cool! I don't think I could do that. It's really cool seeing people who do, but one time my unitmate wanted us to go pro and listen to a label all the time, and that wouldn't've been fun at all.

[Hide-and-go-seek sounds fun! Mecchan wonders who's going to be it.]
roundandaround: Pumped-up smile. (we can do this)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2025-04-14 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Sure! Hina-chan, no biting people, okay? I'll get you some food.

[She sets Hina down and starts gathering up food onto plates, looking to see what her Pokémon indicate they want to eat.]

What kinda stuff do you like? Mecchan likes things that are spicy but not that spicy, and Hina-chan eats all kinds of things but her favourite food is blood.

[personal profile] wild_romance 2025-04-14 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kuri covers his eyes, starts to count a little, then peeks up from behind is paws to give them the look! Hide! ]

From what I hear, it's quite intensive, yes.

[ Also it had opened her up to being attacked by nefarious people who wanted to use her against her yakuza family. None of it had gone well or been a good time. ]

She has a son now, so she's retired.

[ That is not why she retired, let's not talk about it!!! ]
c_zacatechichi: (⊰listen⊱)

[personal profile] c_zacatechichi 2025-04-14 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. Delilah eats dreams.

[ Fela herself does not dream, but she walks other people's dreams which the munna can certainly have a little snack on. ]

These friends... I believe, like fruits and vegetables.

[ A capybara snorts in agreement that yes he would very much like some fresh melon. Fela begins to fill a plate with such offerings. ]
Edited 2025-04-14 00:30 (UTC)
roundandaround: Waving penlights. (hai! hai!)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2025-04-14 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Mecchan scurries away and climbs up underneath a table, clinging to the leg. Hina... well, Zubat may be able to fly, but they can't see, so she ends up landing on a high shelf completely in view of everyone, thinking she's well hidden.]

Huh... It's a lot of work, isn't it? I dunno if I'd want to quit at that age, even though a bunch of other people have. I'd play in Happy Around forever!

[Apparently now being part giraffe has not changed her goals in that regard.]
roundandaround: Wink. (leave it to me!)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2025-04-14 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
That makes sense! In the wild, capybaras eat grass mostly, and reeds and water flowers when they can get them. You really get along with animals, huh? Me too ♪
